About Organizer
Jorn Lyseggen a research scientist in artificial intelligence and machine vision says he felt they were drowning in information and manually it was simply too time-consuming and hard to make a sense. The obvious answer to this problem was a software so he could track and analyse all available information automatically.
That is how he started Meltwater with his friend and coffee machine on board in Oslo Norway, with starting capital of $15,000. His vision was, when executive and decision maker arrive with his cup of coffee on the desk. Their software would welcome them with summary of what had happened around the world in last 24 hours in simplest possible form about the competitors, key clients and own brand.
Meltwater processes upto 100 million documents and 2 trillion searches, aggregated from multiple sources such as news, blogs, feeds, social media to provide real-time analysis. This analysis gives a summary about brand perception, client satisfaction, industry trends and competitive intelligence.
Business Paradigm (Current v/s New)
During the event Jorn explained the current paradigm and New paradigm for executive to look for.
For current paradigm Data source is internal and focus is on own company due to this analytic lag, and the sequence or cadence is monthly or quarterly this all results in reactive operation.
In New paradigm Data source is external and focus should be on industry due to this analytic would leading rather than lag behind, so the sequence or cadence would be shifted to real-time this all will allow proactive operation mode.
